Hi xu93texas, Raspberry, baddison
So I've set my relaxer appointment for August 2nd and I can't wait!! 18 days and counting! I really hope my hair didn't thin out too much from those three weeks of severe shedding due to using MN. No more "unusual" bandwagons for me, EVER.
7/20:
Wash & DC as usual
7/27:
Claify: Kenra Clarifying Shampoo
Heavy Protein Treatment: Aphogee 2-Minute
Moisture DC: Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner
I will be wearing a bun and keeping my hair detangled until relaxer day. I really want to flat iron my NG but I have one concern: if my NG is straight, how will my stylist see where my relaxed hair begins?? An inquiring mind wants to know.
8/2:
Protect length with Roux Porosity Control and CHI Silk Infusion

Good luck, KiWi. I'm shooting for the 1st so we'll be tag teaming that NG. You really saved my hair with the QB products. I also found another extremely awesome tip about a homemade moisturizer in the book--Epsom salt, my fav condish and water...my hair is so soft...I can actually feel my scalp through my NG. I can run my fingers through it.

xu93texas,
Sorry you couldn't get the shedding under control :-(. So is it safe to say the MN wasn't the cause?? Yes, I plan to trim but probably just one inch. I don't think I'm brave enough to do more than that in one sitting. I'm thinking if I trim an inch now and again in December, I should be good. My nape is growing really well and trying to catch up with the rest.

I think I just stumbled upon another great relaxer stretching product. Last week I was browsing Nordstrom's Rack and picked up a bottle of Curls Brand Lavish Curls. I sprayed it into DD's twists this morning for the first time and I thought, well I'll be d@mned!! It's a natural version of S-Curl Moisturizer, a favorite here on LHCF for moisturizing NG! The first two ingredients on both products are Water...Glycerin.
Lavish Curls has no sulfates, silicones, parabens, mineral or petrolatum oils. The ingredients list vs. S-Curl Mousturizer:
Lavish Curls:
Water, Glycerin, Polysorbate 80, Methylheptyl Isostearate, Silk Amino Acids, Certified Organic Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Certified Organic Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Citric Acid, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Fragrance
S-Curl No Drip (old formulation):
Water , Glycerine , Cetearyl Alcohol , Propylene Glycol , Acetamide MEA , Ceteth-20 , Olealkonium Chloride , Stearalkonium Chloride , Panthenol , Simethicone , Imidazolidinyl Urea , Methylparaben , Propylparaben , Fragrance
S-Curl No Drip (Newer formulation):
Have you ladies used either of these products? I stopped using the s curl a while back because I'm not fond of the smell. I love the scent of the lavish curls and I like the spray nozzle while most don't like it. It sprays a direct stream as oppose to a mist. When I spray it into DD's hair the stream is a little annoying but I love it for spraying directly on my NG. So, what do you think?! Do you think Lavish Curls could be a hit or miss?

I'm sitting here thinking about my next wash day...as if this is something new ;-). I've decided to compile my own list of pre-poo ingredients o already have at home and put them in a blender..
I can't wait! All of these have great benefits to hair.

Great regimen to prepare for your upcoming relaxer!! August 2nd will be here before you know it!

wow - now this is interesting. I've never even heard of this product, Lavish Curls? but then again, I don't really frequent Nordstroms either. I use S-Curl mixed with with a bit of Jojoba oil, and I spritz that on my new growth. However, if I could find this somewhere nearby, I would be willing to give it a try. Sounds great.

. I've been looking for drugstore products to help me with my stretch. I'm considering Shea Moisture (any relaxed ladies have experience with this line?) but your recommendation sounds good. I'll probably pick it up too since a smell-good, natural alternative to S-Curl would great.

I just sprayed some in my nape area, front hairline and down the middle. First assessment:
1. It isn't no drip like the s curl
2. A little goes a long way
I'll let you all know how my hair feels in the AM.

I relaxed last night and i think I gained about 1.5 inches. It's not as long as I was hoping but I do see some progress. I would love to make SL by the end of the year but I'm really going to have to step up my game and stay consistent if that is going to happen.
